Birthdays, Weddings, and Giraffes

Hi there everybody!  I haven't been as conscientious about blogging lately.  Mom and Dad...get to work!  A lot has happened in the last couple of weeks.  My friend Carmen invited me to her birthday party!  Here we are bouncing around together.


It was a really fun party. I love bounce house places.  I wish I had a slide like this at my house!


Another great day I had lately was on my Share Day at school.  I brought Grandma.  I told my friends all about her and the fun things we do together.  I told everyone that she makes the best cookies in the whole wide world.  She even brought cookies to share with my whole class, and everyone agreed that they were really yummy.


She read a story to us too.  Grandma was a 2nd grade teacher.  I wonder if this picture reminds her of her class.  Thanks, Grandma, for coming to my school and making this Share Day my favorite of all time.


Right after my Share Day, Mom and Dad went to Philadelphia to attend Dad's cousin Katie's wedding.


She was a beautiful bride.  Here she is walking down the aisle with her brother Paul.  It was a wonderful day.


Grandma and Grandpa had a good time dancing at the reception.

As for me, I was busy practicing the role of a lifetime.  I was a giraffe in the spring pageant at my school.


The giraffes had a speaking part.  We said, "We don't really want to dance."  I practiced saying it at home until I got it just right.



Even though I said I didn't like to dance, I really do.  But I spent some time exploring my character and commiting the role before the show, so I pulled off an entirely believable performance.

After the pageant, Mom and Dad gave me a beautiful bouquet of flowers.  I love my fans.


Everyone had a good time.


Best of all there were cookies!  I have quite a sweet tooth these days.


In other news, Dad ate a banana (NOT his favorite food).  I don't think he liked it by the faces he made, even though he said he did.  We also went shoe shopping at the mall.  I had a blast!  I hadn't been to the mall here in Pennsylvania before.  I tried to listen to Mom and Dad and not run ahead of them, but it was pretty hard.  I think Mom and Dad were both pretty tired at the end.  Shop till you drop!


That's it for now.  See you guys next week!

Hi Macy!
You look like an adorable giraffe! I'll bet you did a great job in the pageant. I love the drawing you made near the end of your blog.
Thank you for taking me to your share day. It was such an honor for me. What fun we had!
Lots of love,
Grandma R.

Hi Macy,
I saw your grandma last week. She told me she had such a good time at your school. She was really happy you took her to school with you. She shared some cookies with me too and they were delicious. Standing next to grandma, I can tell you are getting so tall!
I bet it was a lot of fun being in the school play. The drawing at the end of your blog is really creative. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Love,
Kathy
